Huge stock losses feared in Queensland floods

Nationals Leader David Littleproud has warned of “huge stock losses” for farmers as residents in outback Queensland have been hit by record-breaking rainfall and flooding. Speaking to Sky News Australia from his electorate of Maranoa in western Queensland, Mr Littleproud expressed he’s concerns for the rural town of Thargomindah, with residents to “face their test” on Saturday night. “Obviously, Quilpie has been spared but many of the stations nearby haven't and there's huge stock losses,” he told Sky News Australia. “This could be similar to what we saw in 2019 in the north-west Queensland floods, and we've seen even to the north-west of here the little town of Jundah basically go right under and Adavale, which is part of the Quilpie Shire. “These councils and the Premier have done a great job in keeping everyone out of the water and the towns out of water as best they can and evacuating people but there will be huge stock losses.”
